[leans on him]

Mm. She caused the mess in the game, and afterwards Yuzu killed her. She came back hungry.

I even gave her some of my flesh, too, after that game. She really is insatiable.

[Pauses and thinks about it.]

Are you angry at Miss Yuzu for killing her?

No. She was well within her rights, after Inari got us killed.

Are you angry that you didn’t get to kill her first?

At that time, I didn't want to. I still thought we could reason with her.

…I’m sorry.

...I should have known. I thought she cared about us just because she was a teammate, even though I should have known better.

…That’s how it should be. In fact, I can’t understand it. I can’t understand living a life where you do not want to give everything to the team you belong to.

Even before this place, that’s the only thing I lived for.

You couldn’t have known.

I have known people like that, though. Maybe not as straightforward in their awfulness as Inari, but... people who would betray anyone, even those closest to them. People who only care about their own desires. I am so familiar with them, and yet I couldn't see it right under my nose.

Perhaps I've been acting so soft that I even managed to trick myself.

[Grabbing her cheeks with his hands and makes her look at him.]

[looks at him?]

I have also known the worst of the worst and they are those I could trust with my life. And I have known the kindest of people who has backstabbed those that they loved the most. You cannot just a person's loyalty based on their personality alone.

You did what you were suppose to do as a leader. You trusted those on your team- no, your whole team did. Listen to me, as someone who has dedicated their entire being, soul, and life to his team at home.

Do not take the blame for the traitor who deceived you. None of you did anything wrong. You simply take their heads and stick it on a pike as a warning to those who try to deceive you again.

...

Indeed. I will trust your judgement.

Do you mean that though? Your face doesn't seem to agree.

It's a little difficult.

That's fine. If I were in your position . . . I would also find it difficult, I think.

[He lets go of her face and wraps his arms around her.]

That's nice to hear.

[kisses his cheek]

But I'll try, despite the difficulty.

You already seem to carry so many burdens, I simply worry.

If there’s anything I can do, please tell me.

I wish there was something. A break would be nice.

I hope you can take a break as well.

[Small cheek kiss.]

I can let you go so you can rest with your team. A scenario could happen tomorrow, I don’t want to keep you from that.

[wraps her arms tight around him]

No, I wanna stay with you.

…That’s fine with me.

[Returns with a tight squeeze of his own, settling with burying his face in her shoulder.]

Besides, I should ask you too. Are you all right?

Mmm?

[He doesn’t answer properly, instead he’s just gonna relax here thx.]

You're not going to answer, are you...
